WienMobil Rad tariffs explained
WienMobil Rad charges in 30-minute blocks. The standard tourist-facing rate is €0.75 per block until you reach the €19 daily ceiling for pedal bikes. Register in the nextbike app, unlock at a station, and return to any compatible dock - ideal for museum hopping or dinner runs.
Eligible Wiener Linien customers unlock the mix tariff: €0.35 per 30 minutes with a €9.50 daily cap. E-bikes use separate pricing at €3 per 30 minutes (€36 cap). The annual subscription pays off if you live locally and take many short trips; tourists rarely benefit unless staying weeks.
Shop and marketplace rentals
Traditional shops such as Pedal Power and Die Radstation rent by the calendar day or week, including accessories and sometimes hotel delivery. Expect touring bikes around €33–37 and e-bikes €55–69 for a full day - competitive with sharing if you ride more than ~4–5 hours in one stretch.
Edis Fahrrad and similar independents target budget-conscious riders with optional insurance tiers. P2P platforms listnride and shareonimo connect you with private owners - prices vary by bike type and season, useful for cargo bikes or weekend multi-day hires.

Sharing vs. day rental: when is each cheaper?
For trips under roughly three hours of riding spread across the day, WienMobil Rad standard sharing (€0.75 / 30 min, cap €19) usually beats a shop rental. If you ride continuously for six to eight hours or need guaranteed bike fit (child seat, XL frame), a €33–37 shop day rate is often simpler and can cost less than hitting the €19 sharing cap plus re-checkout fees.
The mix tariff (€0.35 / 30 min, cap €9.50) is compelling for residents with Wiener Linien annual or KlimaTicket products - visitors without those passes should model the standard column. E-bike sharing at €3 / 30 min adds up fast; compare against shop e-bikes around €55–69 per day if you need motor assist all day.
E-scooter sharing is optional for short hops but different rules, parking zones and pricing apply; our bike-vs-e-scooter guide covers trade-offs. P2P marketplaces suit speciality bikes (cargo, race) but require more planning and handover coordination.
